The unemployment rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. Cheers. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Austin about 1 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are wild, gas is underrated.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Came here for weather and stayed because the quality of life is solid. The public transit is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

As someone who grew up here, it's been a really good experience overall. A lot has changed in the past few years though. housing market used to be much manageable but now it's improving.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. the quality of life is solid. Internet is decent in most areas.
